I had the honor of interviewing Misty some years ago and she is graceful and just as beautiful. I asked her what her 5 year plan was and that was to be principal dancer -- she did it in under 3. #fierce
The fact that we have to work harder is the same reality in every field. It makes us better, and more determined, but at the same time its alot of pressure, and can be stressful. It shouldn't be that way in 2021! I'm so proud of this young lady, she represents us well!..❤👏🏿😍
She's terrible representation. She's unable to dance any of the main classical roles and isn't cast in them, despite being a principal with ABT. She whined incessantly about the 'racism' of the ballet world, that she wasn't allowed to make the jump to principal - so they gave her what she wanted and she was unable to fulfill the brief. You want 'positive representation' - Francesca Hayward, Celine Gittens, Precious Adams, Michaela Deprince - all black ballerinas who got their on talent and an ability to do the job.
@@oliviakirby1409 you don't have to be the best, she's not saying she's the best and we are not praising her ability to dance. We are saying she had to work harder to get noticed to get that position... And just because you as an individual or group think a certain way doesn't mean we all do I think she's brilliant, not the best but a gorgeous dancer... And you're being a horrible person by discrediting her success
Love Misty! What a beautiful black woman, who happens to be one of THEE best ballet dancers EVER! Love the video of her dancing on stage (and piano) while Prince is singing. 💞
What I truly love is the fact that despite the haters hate constantly, and relentlessly pounding on this extraordinary woman, black woman, Ms. Copeland remains humble, perfectly poised, and classy in every sense of word and she is more than intelligent enough to turn venom into sweet trails of gold all the way to her well deserved and very full bank account! Good for you black lady for representing all of us who know exactly what you are talking about, have always spoken about, who support you 1000 percent. Your gorgeous petite 5'2 frame is never out shadowed by your incredible lusciousness but compliments the totality of the wonderful you that you are! May your applaus be unending and your bows be continuous!
@lisa Yes, Misty is lovely, and yes, Tamron looks gorgeous in that shade of yellow, too. NOT many people can wear a color like that and look so beautiful.👍👏
I was shocked to find out that they’ve been several black ballerinas in the past century. We need more visibility and inclusion in the history of dance.
I would like to clarify that Ailey dancers ARE classically trained… that comment was very ignorant and promoted eurocentric standard about the dance world that are false.
The constant fight for "the right to succeed" is so exhausting and heartbreaking.. I just pray that one day we all will be considered equal in every aspect of life......
Both women were very close to the late great Prince. He adored and admired both of them in fact Misty use to dance for Prince at his shows. Beautiful, talented and classy lady.
Referencing Alvin Ailey dancers as modern dancers that are “not classically trained”is definitely the wrong use of words. The entire reason the Ailey company was created was to house a space for black dancers. These dancers train in every style of dance and can easily put on a pair of pointe shoes.
Hi, Tamron thank you for the you tube channel. I am so happy that you are successful. I am a fan of Misty Copeland, we as a people and Women need all of the Positive Role Models we can have. Be Safe
Thank you Misty for speaking your truth as you have lived, experienced and shared with the world. God bless you. Stay strong and continue your journey of greatness.
This is not a diss to Misty at all. I love and respect her and she has been SO important for the performing arts and for BIPOC artists. However....she states near the end that Alvin Ailey dancers are not technical trained dancers. This is simply not true. While they are performing modern pieces, they are indeed classically/technically trained artists who continue to take ballet classes even as professional dancers. To those outside of the dance world, it might all seem the same. Why such a big deal? However, it truly is offensive to say that Alvin Ailey dancers are not the same or not classically trained. I adore Misty and applaud her 100% for her journey, her hard work and her accomplishments. Just needed to say that. :)
Thank you Misty Copeland another part of true factual information of needs to be out there for all to know. I've always loved ballet. Thanks so much for sticking in there. I well know how nasty & tough it usually is actually in any & all arena,roles,in careers of people of color.Surely a sad state of afraids.
It's sad....people get mad if people say she is black ? Why ? She mixed yes but she also black, she doesn't look at white woman..I hope and pray skin color won't be an issue
What i love about this story, is that its nothing to love. Plowing into a sport or industry that doesnt recognize your talent, gifts, or intellectual intelligence because your Black, isnt really special. Black people need to love themselves and seek acceptance within.
I know many of us say we have to work harder @ our job because we are black. I'd like to pose a question that is it that many black professionals tend to be type A personalities & are always setting our standards to go beyond perfection.? Is this is how many of us deal with the racial discrimination that is always present?
I don’t think so, at least I don’t as a black professional woman. I set my sights high not necessarily with perfection in mind, but with pride. I take pride in performing well even if I am not acknowledged or recognized. I work hard even in the midst of racial discrimination, because I try and block out a lot of it as much as I can. Even with the micro aggressions, I usually can make my presence known to others that I am not one to mess around with. I am assertive and direct. I work hard because of my strong work ethic not necessarily because I’m black. I think in the back of mind is the thought that I always have to overachieve or over perform, but I try and remember that my knowledge is power and no one can strip me of that. I do my best and always put my best efforts forward even if unrecognized. I hope I addressed your question properly, just wanted to offer my thoughts! Great question!
I don't think so. I obtained my M.S. degree and grad school was just as insanely entrenched in upholding White Supremacy in all of their Pedagogically praxis. In order to keep sane, one has to have perfect everything that is mainstream and that means "code switching" in a way that one might forget who they are. Even wearing my hair in LOCs was an issue and I was publicly humiliated at a departmental conference (over 400 people where there) by the guest speaker; All of a sudden the guest speaker pointed to me and said "See that women over their with that hair, she can ever get a corporate job." totally out of context and I was not part of his topic presentation. I could not say anything or if I did, I would be considered "angry black woman" mess. When I started introducing African pedagogy into my final thesis, my first reader turned red in the face and became very hostile towards me. He did not want to deal with race, microaggressions, and macroaggression in our daily life. For him, there was no racism and every one was equal. That is major Cognitive Dissonance... to its core.
I was a gifted athlete as a youth and I did ballet for years, and the ballet teachers constantly put me in the back and ostracized me. I finally walked away for good when I was 14 after a white french Canadian teacher started purposely strangling me when she would do position corrections while the white students laughed at the degradation of 14 year old me the only black student in a all white class! I never looked back!
Yeah. Sure, we believe you, poor you! Basically very probable you were just a not talented student and that was that! But, this is what all this whining about racism is doing now - all the incompetent and lazy bones can throw the blame on the whites or the greens or the martians - because is soooo convenient.Just another incompetent who cannot get the responsability
Àwwwwwww you're are so beautiful and gorgeous and adorable and cute and sweet and amazing and awesome and nice and delicious and thoughtful and kind and excited I loved you so much sweetie
She got a break and became a prima even though she’s not a good dancer solely because she’s black. She had it easier than other dancers. Enough of this drivel.
@@debbiedavid3151 Biracial 😂 Someone forgot to tell Buckingham Palace who bullied and lied on her for being BLACK, that Meghan wasn't really black 🙄 You Americans need a Passport you live in a bubble. In the world biracial is BLACK.
Misty copeland mixed race…she is not classical Black. If she worked 10xs harder than her whyte counterparts…a true black woman would have had to work 20Xs harder. Not to discredit, but we must acknowledge color not just an assigned racial identification. And why is it so important to be in white spaces?? Let white people have their own spaces. They arent competition. Instead blk dancers should prefer the spaces carved out for them and be just as exclusive.
@@lettiegrant9447 She’s Biracial not Black. That woman has a white mother. When you’re completely replaced in Hollyweird by Biracials and not brown or dark skin people save your tears.
Racists never make this distinction because they don't care. They'll treat her like a 2nd class citizen and call her the N-word just as easily as if she were dark as midnight with 99.9% African ancestry.
Always wondered how bi-racial folks somehow forget about their white parent, they are 50 per cent while and 50 per cent black, you can't split any closer!! I wonder how their parent feels about that, Halle Berry used to get on my nerves always pointing out she's black in every interview, how does that make her mother feel? Mara Schiavocampo is another always talking about being black with that Italian name, how does her dad feel abouat that? I guess Mara and Hallie and Misty used to get beat up in sschool a lot or something and get picked on for being mixed
Halle Berry says her white mother told her the world would always see her as black. Halle said her mother taught her to embrace her blackness. It’s not that biracial people denies their white side. It’s the world that has treated them as black. They live the “black “ experience every day. No one ever says look at that white girl with a tan. Colin Kaepernick ( I know I misspelled his name) thought he was white until he went to school. That’s how he discovered the world didn’t see or treat him as white. To this day he loves his adoptive parents. But he knows the world views him as a black man. So Shirley stop getting your panties in a wad, because they refer to themselves as black. You know until you knew they were biracial you originally thought they were black. Misty, I and many others constantly have to work twice as hard to get half as much. I’m in healthcare I’m no celebrity. Until this pandemic no one cared about the disparity in healthcare among races. I’ve seen it up close and personal. I’ve spent my career trying to break down barriers. So that everyone could have equal access to quality care. You don’t know their struggle and you will never know their pain trying to accomplish and be the best in their fields. They don’t play the race card. Others around them do! So just stop with the criticism because the celebrities don’t mention the white side. Many on the white side still doesn’t recognize them as relatives.
So most of Of the issues dealing with biracial and mixed people tend to be white and black mixed But there are plenty of other people for instants myself who Are half black and another minority In my case Hawaiian. And I my mom who is Hawaiian at a young age how or what am I supposed to identify ass because my teachers are asking me to fill out these forms and choose a race and Hawaiian is not listed only black white Asian Hispanic. So I have no problem checking the black but where do I put my mom side and my mom says to me well you always in here at your father‘s race and last name. So I had no problem just identify as black although I understand that I do not look black so I’m always Aware of that so I make sure I don’t take advantage or get into places claiming to be black and take it away from somebody who is 100% black. But I understand the whole side of choosing the black side because maybe you have a better connection with that side like I did.
They are 2 sides of the same coin. The fact that it took a horrific murder to bring to a Greater light of the trials and tribulations of Black America (and around the world) is BEYOND RIDICULOUS!! She rose above that horror and sorrow within the Black community to continue the Great Fight for Equal Rights. #GoodTrouble
She literally talked about how the impact of George Floyd directly related to her cause. But I suppose you know more about her cause than she does right? 🙄🙄🙄
Shes really milking her blackness. In her every interview she always mention her skin color instead of her amazing talent. Lack of diversity in ballet? Maybe a lot of black girls just not interested in ballet? Maybe its not just popular in their culture and has nothing to do about racism?
If you had common sense you know she’s a Biracial. Clearly her milking her “blackness” is lucrative for her. That woman is NOT Black. There are Black girls in ballet. She’s talking about Black leads. Did you even listen to the interview or were you too wrapped up in her “blackness”
@@kurlykayla9013 This’s a cheap way to get “attraction”, withing “crying”.Black people are very disrespectful to other races, to everything they create, and to their art. Not everone, here have my friends, good guys. In fact, their ridiculous actions may be due to the lack of secular arts. You know, all this is not a "dance form" as some "morons" say. This is a miracle that has been created with hard work, has passed the test of centuries and has been passed down from generation to generation. That is, every passerby should not deal with it, only the best should deal with it and represent their country and society in the world arenas. I am also a representative of a country that has made a revolution in this field and no one can compete with it, and only the best are examples to the younger generation. As for this little piese of blm shit gains attraction by crying, not talent. Meanwhile, they have all been using this method for a hundred years. Very hypocritical person. Instead of thanking that they didn't do anything for destroying this art , they should have rejected her and still shamelessly goes on the air and complains.
I'm a 60 year old Black Woman (Danced non-stop since age 3) and whenever I see her I tear up. She is my superhero.
I started ballet at the age of 47 and Misty Copeland is an inspiration. I salute you, Sista. I look forward to getting the book.
I had the honor of interviewing Misty some years ago and she is graceful and just as beautiful. I asked her what her 5 year plan was and that was to be principal dancer -- she did it in under 3. #fierce
I too have had this honor. It was a truly memorable experience. 🩰
And with injuries!
She is very right! I love how Misty phrased the daily mental work.
The daily mental work! This. This. Brush
Can we just talk about how beautiful this yellow color is on #TamronHall. She looks absolutely stunning!
Got that right!
The fact that we have to work harder is the same reality in every field. It makes us better, and more determined, but at the same time its alot of pressure, and can be stressful. It shouldn't be that way in 2021! I'm so proud of this young lady, she represents us well!..❤👏🏿😍
We shouldn’t have to, it’s so d*mb. Let us be mediocre and succeed. That’s why we should support our own and get it to that level of fame.

What do you mean two mean? What is it that seems to be off?
You know her personally 🙄
Bla bla black… AGAIN ABOUT THE RACE INSTEAD OF TALANT
why do you think it's mutually exclusive?
@@kurlykayla9013 This’s a cheap way to get “attraction”, withing “crying”.Black people are very disrespectful to other races, to everything they create, and to their art. Not everone, here have my friends, good guys.
In fact, their ridiculous actions may be due to the lack of secular arts. You know, all this is not a "dance form" as some "morons" say.
This is a miracle that has been created with hard work, has passed the test of centuries and has been passed down from generation to generation.
That is, every passerby should not deal with it, only the best should deal with it and represent their country and society in the world arenas. I am also a representative of a country that has made a revolution in this field and no one can compete with it, and only the best are examples to the younger generation.
As for this little piese of blm shit gains attraction by crying, not talent. Meanwhile, they have all been using this method for a hundred years. Very hypocritical person. Instead of thanking that they didn't do anything for destroying this art , they should have rejected her and still shamelessly goes on the air and complains.
